TN caveats

THE REDEMPTION PERIOD DEPENDS ON THE ARREARS, AND THIS ROW ENCODES THE LONGEST. One year at five years' delinquency or less, 180 days above five, 90 days at eight or more, and 30 days for property shown vacant or abandoned (§ 67-5-2701(a)(1)). A deeply delinquent parcel therefore returns capital far sooner than modelled — favourable, but it also means a shorter window in which the 12% accrues.
THE CLOCK STARTS AT THE ORDER CONFIRMING THE SALE, NOT THE SALE. Tennessee sells through the Chancery Court's Clerk and Master, and the period runs from confirmation. Money is committed from the auction; the redemption period begins later. Budget the gap separately — it is in auctionToMarketableMonths and cannot be in maxDays.
Interest accrues on the ENTIRE purchase price, not a minimum bid and not capped (§ 67-5-2701(b)(1)), and it runs from payment until the redemption motion is filed rather than to the end of the period. A premium here earns, unlike Indiana or South Carolina.
Redemption also repays delinquent taxes, penalty, interest and court costs, and the court may award the purchaser amounts expended on the property (§ 67-5-2701(e), (f), (j)). Those are recoverable only on redemption, not if the buyer keeps the parcel.
Assessment is by class, not county. This row assumes residential at 25%; commercial and industrial sit at 40% and public utility at 55%. See the derived-ARV note — the commercial case overstates value by roughly 1.6x.
quietTitle costs here are a placeholder and have not been reviewed by the operator. Do not rely on a computed Tennessee max bid until they are set.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — T.C.A. § 67-5-801 and Tenn. Const. art. II, § 28: residential and farm property is assessed at 25% of value, industrial and commercial at 40%, public utility at 55%. This entry uses the 25% residential rate. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
